Fishing the Eagle River - At its current condition, the Eagle River is becoming easier to wade every day. Access is limited, but increasing due to higher water levels and diminished space along the banks to safely wade. Keep in mind that the Eagle River is fueled by snow runoff and can vary in flow day to day, but the water levels seem to be steadily dropping. The Eagle River can also be a very slick river so the use of caution when in the river is highly advised, especially at higher flows. The sections of the river above Wolcott will be clearer. Right now we are seeing most success when running a nymph rig consisting of a bead head fly and trailing caddis emergers, pmd emergers, or midge emergers. Dry fly rigs can consist of 1 or 2 flies right now. Try any combination of stimis, caddis, pmd's or yellow sallies.
